The other two attempted to force their way into the compound and were killed by FC and paramilitary guards after brief firefights.

CCTV footage and on-site reports recorded two loud explosions and sporadic gunfire.

Some reports say additional explosives were found and defused during a security sweep.

The attack reportedly occurred during a parade of roughly 450 personnel, which several local outlets say was likely the intended target.

Hospitals, including Lady Reading Hospital, received the wounded, and officials emphasized the injured were being treated and remained stable.

Security forces quickly sealed the area and launched a clearance operation.

Officials recovered weapons and explosive materials, according to some reports.

Initial probes in at least one outlet identified the attackers as Afghan nationals.

Most outlets described the assailants as killed by FC or paramilitary guards.

Coverage diverges on responsibility: some sources say no claim had been reported, while others, including a Western Alternative report, say a splinter extremist group claimed responsibility.

Reporting tone and emphasis vary by source type.
